The early 1960s were banner years for the Chevrolet Impala SS, which returned in 1963 with subtle refinements to styling and carried over one of its best optional features: the mighty 409 CI big block V-8 engine backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. With a single 4-barrel carburetor the 409 was rated at a healthy 340 HP or 400 HP, while the dual quad version powering this pristine Impala convertible served up a monumental 425 HP. Dressed in chrome valve covers and a chromed dual-snorkel air cleaner replete with “409” badging, it’s a fitting showpiece as well that perfectly suits this colorful SS, one of 153,271 built in that record-setting year. Finished in Riverside Red, the car features a matching Red interior with all the SS trimmings: Strato bucket seats with console, anodized aluminum dash trim and an in-dash tachometer. Optional equipment includes power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, push-button AM radio with dual antennas, chromed door handle nail guards, dual outside mirrors and full spinner wheel covers with whitewall tires.
